Coaxial Connectors (RF)

Coaxial connectors are commonly used in the radio frequency (RF) world. The type known as 1313A204-405 is no exception. It is a 50 ohm, 2.92 mm connector designed to meet the needs of commercial, military, and industrial applications.

Application Field

The 1313A204-405 offers an unparalleled level of performance for high performance radio frequency (RF) applications. It is ideal for use in medical devices, aerospace, automotive, communications, and industrial control applications. It is also ideal for use in high-voltage equipment, such as power amplifiers, where power cycle and power handling ability are of prime concern.

The 1313A204-405 is especially useful in applications such as antenna systems, transmit and receive systems, and amplifiers that require high return loss, excellent repeatability, and superior power handling capacity. Additionally, the 1313A204-405 can be used in conjunction with high-frequency filters, which require a small size and low profile.

Working Principle

The 1313A204-405 connector is a coaxial type connector, which consists of an outer contact shell, an inner contact shell, a dielectric, and a strain relief. When in use, the outer contact shell mates with the inner contact shell for a secure connection. The dielectric provides a soft, compressible interface between the two contacts and ensures a low level of inductance for the circuit.

The strain relief is a threaded brass insert that is used to securely mount the inner contact shell to the outer shell. The inner contact shell also contains a set of pins that make contact with the cable conductor. The pins are designed to contact the conductor with minimal contact resistance and ensure a low impedance connection.

The 1313A204-405 is designed to support a variety of frequencies with minimal attenuation and excellent return loss. It is also designed to minimize common mode currents in RF circuits, meaning it minimizes the coupling of electric fields and magnetic fields to nearby conductive structures.

The 1313A204-405 is a powerful and affordable coaxial connector designed for high performance radio frequency applications. It offers enhanced power handling, low impedance connection, and excellent return loss. It is ideal for use in medical devices, aerospace, automotive, communications, and industrial control applications, as well as high-voltage equipment such as power amplifiers.
